• Handle accounts payable and receivable: process invoices, track payments, and manage reconciliations efficiently using Spendesk's platform.

• Contribute to intercompany processes: manage intercompany billing and reconciliation across subsidiaries.

• Collaborate cross-functionally: work with other departments (HR, Legal, Operations) to gather the information needed for accurate bookkeeping.

• Become a Spendesk platform expert: use and test the platform daily, contributing to process improvement and automation initiatives.

• Support ad hoc finance operations tasks: assist on various finance projects as the team scales.

Your Profile

• You have 1 to 3 years of experience in accounting, finance, or a related field (including internships or apprenticeships).

• You are organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.

• You are curious and eager to learn: Spendesk is a fast-evolving environment and we value people who embrace change.

• You have good communication skills, both written and oral, and you are comfortable working in a team.

• You have a basic understanding of accounting principles (French GAAP is a plus).

• You are comfortable working with spreadsheets and ideally have some exposure to an ERP (NetSuite is a plus, but not required).
